Soil-Net is a free environmental school resource about soil, covering Key Stages 1-4.  It contains extensive teacher aids supporting many curriculum-based interactive student activities both in-class and outdoors.

The website contains materials including:

• developing a school garden
• soil walks
• eco-lifestyle quizzes
• postcode-driven interactive soil maps

Soil-Net trials have been successfully undertaken in schools in Hampshire, Bedfordshire and Norfolk. 

Soil is one of the three most vital natural resources, alongside air and water, playing a crucial role in sustaining food production, in supporting the variety of our plant and animal life, and as a foundation for much of the country�s infrastructure. Less well known is the part soil plays in cleaning our water supplies, in archaeological preservation and its important potential to moderate the rate of climate change. Soil is all around us � just under our feet!
